Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"If possible, I hope you won't torture us. Noda's death was too gruesome, and I don't want to experience it. This really is the afterlife; killing is meaningless here."

Momo nodded. Right behind him, Izayoi Sakuya and Kirisame Marisa, who had been torn to pieces by Izayoi Sakuya's Pad bomb, were slowly recovering. Watching the two girls' severed limbs transform back into beautiful young bodies was clearly a rather peculiar process.

Unfortunately, Momo had to deal with the prisoners, so he could only have Konno Muku cover their bodies and have Yui secretly record the whole process for later viewing.

Well, the explosion was too gruesome to record, but the recovery process is something to enjoy!

"Is everyone here? Why don't we see Nakamura Yuri? Did Nakamura Yuri plan this?"

Mo Mo asked curiously, but Hyuga Hideki immediately shook his head and said, "No, that's not how it is. Today's matter was purely our own doing, and it has nothing to do with our leader."

Then, Hideki Hinata told Momo everything that had happened to the SSS group that day, and then specifically explained to Momo that Yuri Nakamura was currently tied up in the forest.

Seeing Hideki Hyuga's nervous expression, Mo Mo immediately understood what Hyuga and the others were planning. In short, the entire SSS team intended to test Mo Mo to ascertain the true extent of his power.

Meanwhile, in order to prevent Mo Mo from getting angry and to prevent the situation from losing all room for maneuver, they directly kidnapped Nakamura Yuri. In this way, Nakamura Yuri became the key to turning the tide of the matter.

After all, Yuri Nakamura was also a victim in this incident. At worst, they would all be punished by Mo Mo. As long as Yuri Nakamura and Mo Mo could still cooperate, that would be fine.

Hideki Hinata looked at Mo Mo's knowing smile and felt a pounding in his heart. In an instant, he understood that this boy, who looked just as young, had seen through everything.

He looked at Mo Mo nervously, and couldn't help but want to beg Mo Mo for mercy. If Mo Mo got angry at Nakamura Yuri because she saw through everything, then everything they had done today would really have to be for nothing.

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty. Where is Yuri now?"

074 The Black Torrent

Seeing that the atmosphere had become much more relaxed, Hideki Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from his appearance, the important figure in front of them, who looked to be about the same age as everyone else, was actually quite easy to get along with. Even though the SSS group had done such an outrageous thing, he didn't seem to care.

That's good. At least the things the SSS members did out of enthusiasm and vigilance won't ruin Nakamura Yuri's plans. Now it's time for their leader to step in and confront this important figure named Momo.

"Yuri is over there. Do you need me to take you there? Ah, you can rest assured, there will be absolutely no ambush or trap this time. I guarantee it with my life!"

Hinata also started playing the "immortality" joke, a common trope in the afterlife, trying to liven up the atmosphere. However, to his embarrassment and stiffness, the smile that Mo Mo had been wearing also disappeared.

Mo Mo's expression was serious as he looked at the still dark shadows of the forest in the distance, seemingly not believing what he had just said.

"Um... please believe me, I promise I won't lie this time!"

Hideki Hinata clasped his hands together, almost begging Mo Mo. Was Mo Mo really angry about what these people had done?

However, Momo had no time to pay attention to Hyuga Hideki. Although it was still dark in the distance, Momo possessed the hearing and vision of a Heroic Spirit and had already vaguely sensed the unusual activity in the shadows of the forest.

"Kanade, scan the direction Hideki Hinata mentioned, and see if Yuri is there, and if there's anything there."

"clear."

Kanade Tachibana immediately complied, manipulating her Knightmare to scan for people in the distance. Soon, she replied to Momo in a surprised tone, "I've spotted three people. It should be Yuri Nakamura and the others. However, they seem to be fighting something."

"But according to my equipment, there's absolutely nothing around them!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "So you really came."

"You're here?"

Kanade Tachibana was full of doubt, but Momo didn't say much, saying, "Kanade, don't forget, love isn't allowed in the afterlife. So, right now, my good brother Fujiwara no Mokou and I are just one night away from being together. Do you think the administrators here will just stay here peacefully?"

"Ah, you mean that mysterious NPC?"

Mo Mo nodded. Provoking the mysterious NPC to take action was one of Mo Mo's initial goals. If there was anyone who understood the truth of this world best and was closest to its reality, it was undoubtedly Tachibana Kanade's senior, the unknown student council president.

His ability to develop AP software, a program that allows Kanade Tachibana to change the world and generate skills, proves that he can impose his will on this world. In a sense, he can be considered a god of this world.

Unfortunately, this god went mad and chose to destroy himself, becoming a mysterious NPC who carries out his final series of commands before his death.

The most crucial rule is that the emotion called love must never be allowed to arise in the afterlife. Otherwise, those who possess love could live forever in the afterlife, turning this transit point for the dead into a perpetual paradise.

This senior figure wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, but why—whether it was due to his personal will or some rule of this world—Mo Mo would only be able to find out after meeting him.

"Yes, let's all come together then, Kozo. Now that you've become our partner, it's time to meet your respected senior."

"As for now, how about we go and play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress?"

Mo Mo smiled faintly, then waved to Hyuga Hideki, who looked terrified. Then, to Hideki's astonishment and disbelief, Mo Mo took steps toward the sky, as if there were an invisible staircase beneath his feet.

"Want to come together?"

Momo turned around and reached out her hand to Fujiwara no Mokou and Houraisan Kaguya, who were equally stunned, which brought them back to their senses.

Fujiwara no Mokou managed to retain a sliver of rationality, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Momo. Although she already knew that Momo possessed considerable and terrifying power, seeing him standing in the air like a god was still beyond her imagination.

Is that alright?

Fujiwara no Mokou hesitated. Could she walk in the air with Momo and share Momo's power?

"Wow!"

Unlike Fujiwara no Mokou, Houraisan Kaguya was not rational. After the initial shock, she immediately cheered loudly, saying, "Daddy flew! Daddy can fly! Kaguya too, Kaguya wants to fly with us, fly high!"

As she spoke, Kaguya Houraisan broke free from Fujiwara no Mokou's embrace and jumped directly towards Mo Mo. Mo Mo did not disappoint Kaguya Houraisan, using his power to wrap Kaguya Houraisan in his arms, allowing her to stand steadily in the air.

"Ah! I can fly! I can fly too!"

Kaguya Houraisan cried out in surprise, striking various poses in the air, while Momo adjusted her abilities to maintain her balance, as if Kaguya Houraisan were flying using her own abilities.

As for Fujiwara no Mokou, she naturally wouldn't be left behind by Mo Mo. And as Mo Mo's brother, she received special treatment. Mo Mo pulled her to his side and put his arm around her waist.

Isn't it normal for brothers to put their arms around each other's shoulders?

Fujiwara no Mokou glared at Momo angrily. She naturally understood that Momo was up to something again. Otherwise, couldn't she fly around freely like Kaguya Houraisan?

However, Fujiwara no Mokou did not resist. Instead, she reached out and grabbed Mo Mo's collar with a touch of reserve, leaning against him to maintain a distance between them without appearing too intimate.

This was probably her last stand, but the blush on her face had already betrayed her anxious state of mind.

Konno Yuuki immediately followed behind the two, and beside her, Izayoi Sakuya, who was still being resurrected, and Kirisame Marisa were also brought to her side by her ability.

Their clothes had long since disappeared. Reality isn't as perfect as anime; people can be resurrected, but clothes can't be restored.

Therefore, although the two of them still had some bloodstains and wounds on their bodies, their beautiful figures were already right in front of Momo.

Of course, Mo Mo had only glanced at them a few dozen times unintentionally. Right now, the two of them were wrapped in blankets by Konno Moyuki, their heads completely hidden.

"Those...them?"

Hideki Hinata anxiously questioned Momo, but Konno Moyuki answered for her, saying, "Don't worry, big brother just has something he wants to ask them after they're resurrected. He's going to see Yuri right now, so he'll go with them."

Immediately afterwards, Momo and Konno Moyuki, each with two people, flew towards the location of Nakamura Yuri amidst Kaguya's loud laughter and shouts, and under the awe-inspiring gazes of everyone, leaving only Tachibana Kanade and her Knightmare behind.

However, before Hideki Hinata could even breathe a sigh of relief, a group of fully armed girls with brown hair suddenly appeared around them.

Looking at their neatly arranged weapons and skillful formation, everyone immediately understood that they were definitely a powerful and well-trained force.

As for why they appeared out of thin air here... they just performed a flying acrobatic act, so it's not a big deal if they suddenly appear out of nowhere, right?

"Gentlemen, please remain quiet. This area is now under the control of the Misaka Army. We are here not merely to watch over you, but more importantly, to protect you."

One of the Misaka Sisters spoke these words loudly, while Hideki Hinata and the others felt completely bewildered.

Protect them?

What protection do they need? Right now, the only things that can harm them are Momo's massive mechs and these uniformly dressed brown-haired female soldiers.

However, the Misaka Sisters no longer needed to explain to them. As dawn passed, the sun finally peeked out, dispelling the last vestiges of darkness from the earth.

At this moment, those with sharp eyes suddenly noticed that in the distance, on the playground and on the road, almost everywhere, strange figures, each two meters tall and resembling mist, were looking at them with eerie eyes and advancing towards them in a chaotic manner.

If you were to follow these shadowy figures from the air, you would discover that they all came from the dormitories of the school's NPC students. One by one, the students walked out of their rooms and transformed into strange figures resembling black mist, like zombies, gathering towards the place where there were living people.

"What...what is this?!"

Hideki Hinata's scream at this moment had already occurred more than ten minutes earlier.

……

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and a Black Hawk who attempted to ambush Yuri Nakamura from behind had his head blown off by Nakamura's bullet. The shadowy figure also turned into a pile of tiny 0s and 1s, which then disintegrated into even smaller fragments and disappeared.

"Damn it, can it even hold on?"

Having eliminated the shadowy figure, Yuri Nakamura breathed a slight sigh of relief. She turned to look at the pale-faced, shrewish woman and Sanae Kochiya, who was crouching on the ground, hugging her knees and trembling.

Without a doubt, Superficial Sister's fighting ability is amazing; with just a short knife at her waist, she could easily take down a dozen or even twenty people.

Unfortunately, the shadowy figures attacking the group seemed endless, and the superficial woman initially didn't want to let go of Yuri Nakamura. Facing these things alone made Yuri Nakamura suspect that these shadowy figures were simply mass-produced expendable products that had been copied and pasted.

At first, Superficial Sister didn't want to let go of Nakamura Yuri, so she fought alone, trying to eliminate these black mist-like monsters. Unfortunately, there were just too many shadows, and in the end, she was exhausted and almost swallowed up by two of them.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Sanae Kochiya released Yuri Nakamura, allowing her to fire the gun and save the exhausted and shallow-skinned woman.

"I...I'm fine, but Shiina-san doesn't seem to be doing well."

Despite the fact that Sanae Kochiya was crouching down with her head in her hands, looking nothing like she was alright, Yuri Nakamura still focused her attention on the shallow-skinned woman.

Although Yuri Nakamura had just saved Sister Fumi, Sister Fumi had been entangled with the black mist for quite some time. Right now, Sister Fumi was holding her head, her face pale, and black mist-like 0s and 1s were flashing across her face from time to time, which made Yuri Nakamura even more worried.

"Damn it, it seems these things not only need to be destroyed, but we can't even touch them. What the hell are these things? Is this world going to end?"

Helpless, Yuri Nakamura could only protect the two people behind her, trying her best to save bullets by firing one shot at a time, while racking her brains to think of an escape strategy.

"Click!"

The trigger clicked, meaning she was out of bullets. Yuri Nakamura nimbly flipped on the ground, dodging a lunge from a dark figure, then quickly moved to a more advantageous position, reaching for the magazine at her waist.

Unfortunately, she found nothing.

"Oops!"

Yuri Nakamura's expression changed drastically. Only now did she realize that she had been brought here bound and gagged, so it was impossible for her to be fully armed. The fact that she had a gun, loaded with bullets, was something the SSS group had left behind after searching her, something they dared not do too far.

The black mist seemed to have realized their opportunity. The shadowy figures, which had been hesitant due to Nakamura Yuri's attack, finally began to move. And seemingly enraged, the shadowy figures rushed towards Nakamura Yuri from all directions, enveloping her completely in their shadowy presence in an instant.

"Commander!"

Superficial Sister let out a scream and immediately tried to stand up by holding onto the tree to continue fighting, but before she could even stand up, she sat down on the ground again.

She felt her brain was splitting open, and it seemed that many things disappeared as she got rid of the shadow, as if the shadow could devour everything.

Devour everything?

"Ah, watch out, Yuri! These things can devour everything!"

Superficial Sister used her last strength to issue a warning, but it seemed too late for Nakamura Yuri, who was completely surrounded.
